A man on the street wouldn’t think to define a human being as three-fifths of a person, but this was the language that emerged when Southern slaveholding states and Northern abolitionists negotiated slave status for congressional representation. For politics doesn’t just make strange bedfellows; it draws strange conclusions. Its scientific conclusions are no exception.

In deference to the strange bedfellow that is China, the World Health Organization once proclaimed that the coronavirus wasn’t transmissible person to person (you had to kiss a pangolin or something, I guess). The CDC was against masking before it was for it, briefly opposed it again, before resuming full maskaholism a day or two later. Ditto for Dr. Anthony “Flip-flop” Fauci, who seems to have taken every COVID-19 and COVID-1984 position imaginable, as he applies relativism to disease remediation.

Rochelle Walensky lied about how kids died — and more children will suffer as a result.

Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), perhaps trying to justify the administration position that children will probably have to wears masks at school in the fall, recently stated that COVID-19 is notably deadlier to kids than is the flu. The problem is that the CDC bigwig’s claim was contradicted by an interesting source: the CDC.

What happens when you’ve long been reliant upon a sub-par service, but then find out you can perform it better yourself? If you answer that you ditch the service, now you know the reason for one often welcome, COVID-19-inspired societal change: a surge in homeschooling.

Homeschooling has long been gaining in popularity. Numbering only about 850,000 in 1999, there were approximately two million homeschooled children in America five years ago and an estimated 2.5 million in the spring of 2019, with a growth rate of two to eight percent per year, according to recruitment service Mark in Style.

That is, until the virus made it go viral.

Have you noticed that modern “efficient” washing machines sometimes really stink — and that clothes emerging from them also may? Or have you wondered why new washers’ electronic displays are reminiscent of the space shuttle or why they can have wash cycles approximating low-Earth-orbit space-flight length? Uncle Sam’s regulations, which now touch virtually every aspect of our lives, are the reason.

Ronald Reagan once said that the nine scariest words in the English language are, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

Sweden isn’t in the news much right now, for both good and bad reasons. The good reason is that unlike in France, where massive protests and rioting inspired by new anti-coronavirus lockdown measures have made headlines, the Nordic country is peaceful. The bad one is that even though the reason it’s peaceful is because its anti-lockdown strategy has worked, the COVID-panic-porn-obsessed media don’t find this newsworthy. After all, if the masses find out that all the civilization-rending lockdowns and onerous virus restrictions are an exercise in scientific obscurantism, a lot of power-mad politicians could face career destruction.

Warnings about COVID-19 vaccines are generally labeled “misinformation” by the Biden administration, are censored by Big Tech, and, in certain cases, can seem a bit fanciful. Anyone, after all, can make a claim. But when the warning is sounded by renowned coronavirus doctor Peter McCullough — and when he says the vaccines’ “mechanism of action is clearly poisonous” — it’s perhaps true cause for alarm.

More striking still, the physician says that the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine endeavor is “going to go down as the most dangerous biologic medicinal product roll-outs in human history.”

“You’re a thought criminal!” said the boy to protagonist Winston Smith in George Orwell’s 1984. This comes to mind when pondering stories of parents who get “canceled” by their own children. Oh, they’re not called thought criminals. They’re just not called — for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any other time because they dared be awakened to Truth in a “woke” time.

We’ve heard about this for a while. “‘You are no longer my mother, because you are voting for Trump,’” lifelong Democrat Mayra Gomez, 41, was told by her 21-year-old son last year. Now Meadowlark Press writer Caryn Boddie relates her own experiences being canceled by her kids, along with others she knows of who are enduring the same fate.

It’s another good example of the pseudo-elite vs. the street. Florence Ashley, a Canadian bioethicist and feminist based in Toronto, recently took to Twitter to “educate” the hoi polloi on the evils of “gendering” animals. Doing so, averred she, takes “bioessentialist conceptions of gender” and normalizes them. In response, the Twitterverse pointed out that she was quite abnormal.

Ashley further explained, “When we gender animals, we forget that sex is assigned. We begin to believe that sex is literally ~in~ the body.”
